On the Road: Day #2

Monday, September 15;

I love finding Crossfit affiliates while I'm on the road. They are always hidden away in abandoned office parks or down scary dingy roads or in gymnastics schools..

I was at Crossfit Revolution in Brandon, FL. I had scoped out the location on the website before I showed up. This one was tucked away in a tiny corner in the second floor of a gymnastics school. Thank goodness for the gymnasts because I kept looking down at them when I was doing my workout. I'd think to myself.. if that 10 year old can do that, then I can totally finish this workout.

It was a nasty one.. the Captian.. it was on the mainsite last Sunday.

Workout:
AMRAP in 3 minutes then rest for a minute.. do this for 5 rounds (does this even make sense? I was confused)
3 squat power cleans (85lbs)
6 pushups
9 air squats
Total: 15 rounds

Doesn't look bad right? WRONG! This is the prescribed for women. The guy prescribed weight is 135lbs.

I have some nasty bruises on my shins and on my thighs. This tell me I did it right. Also, the coach there complimented my cleans.. certainly not as nice as a compliment about the rack, but I'll take what I can get. I of course took no credit for the clean.. I said, "I'll pass the word on to my coach!"
